New Year’s Eve provides a great opportunity to bring the whole family together and create memories that will last long into the New Year. However, celebrating in roughly the same way every year can make differentiating each occasion rather difficult. So why not do something entirely different this time around by heading somewhere truly extraordinary?
From magical snowy adventures and sun-soaked beach escapes to vibrant cities offering iconic celebrations, New Year family breaks with Elegant Resorts can be tailored entirely around you and your family, creating a bespoke getaway that is every bit as unique as you are. You’ll be able to celebrate the New Year in your own style in a dream destination together with your loved ones.
For families dreaming of a white New Year, Finnish Lapland provides a spectacular setting. Surrounded by snow-covered forests and enchanting Arctic landscapes, you can combine a stay in a cosy hotel or ski lodge with unforgettable festive experiences. Children can meet Father Christmas on home turf, experience enchanting reindeer sleigh rides and discover the magic of the wilderness, while the whole family can enjoy skiing, husky adventures and exhilarating snow activities. Lapland is amongst the very best destinations for New Year family breaks, creating a genuinely unique experience which combines outdoor adventure with all the excitement of the festive season.
If you’re seeking a more private celebration, then you may want to consider bringing all of your loved ones together in a spacious villa in the Algarve or Mallorca. Large private villas provide plenty of room for extended families to relax, dine and celebrate together, creating a home away from home where you can welcome the New Year away from the gaze of the outside world. You can avoid the crowds, enjoy leisurely meals around a private dining table at your own pace, spending time together beside your own private pool and venturing out to explore the nearby attractions whenever you see fit. These destinations are particularly appealing for families who prefer freedom and space to large scale parties in tourist hotspots.
If a little bit of sunshine is high on your New Year wish list, then the Maldives offers the chance to combine luxury with family-friendly fun. There are numerous beautiful resorts in the Elegant Resorts portfolio here which provide an idyllic tropical setting for a family friendly New Year break in the Maldives, with pristine beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters providing a spectacular backdrop to your New Year celebrations. One such resort is Soneva Jani where families can enjoy an array of activities and experiences, from watersports and boat trips to spa treatments and bespoke excursions, while spacious villa accommodation, excellent on-site restaurants and dedicated children’s clubs ensure that younger travellers are well catered for. These luxury New Year breaks for families make it possible to welcome the year ahead in a truly unforgettable luxurious setting.
For those who love the excitement of a major celebration, a family friendly New Year break in a major city is another great option. Edinburgh is a fantastic choice for New Year family breaks in Europe, with its famous Hogmanay celebrations transforming the Scottish capital into one of the world's leading focal points. Alternatively, New York provides an iconic backdrop for welcoming the New Year, with its dazzling lights, famous landmarks and legendary Times Square celebrations creating a real bucket list celebration that will be enjoyed by all ages.
